Onion, Garlic and Basil Frittata Recipe #320452
Onions and garlic are slowly pan-cooked until caramelised and then used as the base of a delicious frittata. Adapted from a recipe on the Simply Great Recipes website. Obviously you can use your own pesto recipe or a pesto from your favourite deli in place of the commercially available one. I left the Leggo's pesto named in the original recipe in this recipe, as that makes for a quicker version when time is limited. For the best results from this simple dish, use free range eggs.
30 min | 10 min prep
SERVES 4 -6
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 6 medium onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 8 eggs, beaten
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup leggo's pesto sauce, Traditional Basil
- 3/4 cup grated tasty cheese or 1/4 cup feta and 1/2 cup grated tasty cheese

- In a medium bowl beat together the eggs, milk and Leggo's Pesto - Traditional Basil.
- Heat the oil in a large (preferably non-stick) pan, over a medium-high heat, add the onions, sprinkle with sugar, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally or until the onion slices are golden brown. Add the garlic in the last 4-5 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture onto the onions in the pan and cook over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the egg mixture with the grated cheese (and feta, if you are using part feta) and add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste; and finish cooking the frittata under a preheated grill for 3-4 minutes or until the frittata has set.
- Slide the frittata out of the pan onto a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.
